THE probability that at present 'he
postal business of sthe country is on a

i,y and economy of the reform admins
trauon which President Cleveland is
giving the nation. For many years past
the DEFICIENCIES have amounted TO from
eigh, to fifteen million dollars per an
nun, but for the fiscal year ending June

this was reduced to about "a, 600 QUO.
and for the year just passed, the def

SEEMS TO KNOW SCAlLLlNG,

One-MinIster Romero, of Mexico.


WASHINGTON CITY. Nov 25-Mr Romero,
the Mexican minister here, contradicts Louis
S. Schilling's story about alleged outrages
against Schilling and other Americans in
Mexico. Schilling, he says, was arrested
more than year ago at Piedras Negras, at
the reques: OF the United States authorities,
who prosecuted him for the crime of assault
and battery with intent to kill at Pecos, Tex
The personal effects taken from him while in
the Mexican Jail were returned to him
after his extradition and return to
Texas Subsequently he came to Piedras
Negras, again fugitive from Texas justice,
for the purpose of revenging himself upon
the Mexican policeman who arrested him
first and delivered him to the Texas authori-
ties He was again arrested, but in the me
lee was shot and wounded in the left arm.
He managed to escape and again went to
Texas A as to Schlling's charge that Nc
Cowan and White, of Ohio were murdered,
MIR. Romero says he will have it properly in
vestigated, although he thinks it quite I'M
likely that if such an outrage had been COM
mitted against citizens of this country, no
body except Schilling should know any
thing about it, and the conSuis of the United
States should not have reported it in due time
made minute invesi cation of the case.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25-General Master
Workman Powderly, in response to a request
from prominent Knight of Labor, of this
city, urging him to reconsider his announced
determination to retire from the leadership
of the order, has written a letter, of which
the following is the substance:
"You ask me to reconsider my determine
ton to retire from the head of the order after
next session. do not see how l can consist.
emily do so, and it would be unfair to ask me
to retain position which do not want, and
which l am confident another man can fill
with better advantage to the order at large.
During the past year l have received a
thousand communications, from individuals,

and asked to resign. The papers were full OF
abuse, threats of impeachment were made,
and threats of withdrawal from the order
were freely INDUCED in

of light made its way, and that came from

Anarchistic element who sought to prostitute
the order to its own business felt that the
order would stand more cheerfully by some
other man than it would stand by me. True,

blows fall thick and fast, friendly interces-
sion now and then cheers the person upon

the best service that can render to the
order is to step aside, and allow some other
member to do the work am trying to do.

New York Feeds Her Dependents on the
National Fowl,
NEW YORK, Nov. 2a Thanksgiving Day
was observed in New York with more ap-
parent interest than usual The weather was
clear, with tinge of frost in the atmosphere
and ali the services at the churches were well
attended. The vessels in the harbor dis
played various colored bunting in their rig
ging, even among the foreigners, and the in
mates of the public inetitutions were gener-
ally Toasted on the national domestic bird.
1t was feared that thu crippled, sick, and
insane on Wards Island would have to 60
without their Thanksgiving on account Of
the shortage in the funds of the immigr alton
commissioners but the board sent word to
the authorities on the Island that the poor
people there should have the American ban
quet at any hazard.
One thing remarkable about the day was
that there were more people in the city than
were ever known before In years past the
trains going to the outlying country resorts
where game is plenty have always been
crowded on the night before Thanksgiving.
The railroad people report that Wednesday
evening comparatively few left the city. II
is thought that the Yale Harvard ot-ball
game was one of the potent attractions that
kept the people in town. 1t was a great day
for many kinds of athletics

1 he referee was l. A. BAKER ana Tue UNI
pire James Hancock, both Princeton men.
Harvard won the toss aud chose the left goal
and the wind. Yale got tue ball
The first round was fought with all the
vigor that well-trained muscles and skillful
management could bring to bear, and after
the battle had oscillated between the two
goals for some time Bull got chance on a
drop kick and sent the ball flying over Har
wards bar, amid tremendous uproar of
cheers for the blue The score then stood:
Yale, s.; Harvard, O.
The next round was played quicker, and
again Bull got his opportunity, and although
the kick was bad one at long angle he got
there, and Yale's score was II to Harvard u.
1t looked like a sure thing for Yale at this
time with half the game played and fifteen
minutes for a rest, but when the ball went
into play again Harvard was playing desper-
ately 1t was do or die with them, and they
succeeded in making two points, and made
the score-Yals, IL; Harvard, 2. This was
improved upon in the next round, Hurvard
making six more points and leaving the
score II to 5 in favor of Yale, with sixteen
minutes to play.
As soon as the ball was again in play
Woodruff carried it 10 yards forward. Both
sides were playing to win, and Harvard in
tended to get the deciding touchdown at all
hazards Yale must prevent it, or lose what
had looked sure victory. Yale forced the
ball up steadily until a blue legged player
ran around all with the ball. 1t WAS Graves,
and he was not downed until he reached
Harvard's 25 yards line. Bull then got the
ball on pass from Beecher, and carried it to
within yards of the crimson line Har-
ward was desperate, and all rushing together
put back the leather couple of feet
Yale sent it back So it swayed for few
minutes Then Yale foul-tackled.and Har
ward got five yards, which were much needed
then. They were increased to twenty soon
by clever work of Porter. On pass SAKE
by good kick sent the ball to centre, but
Wurtsmburg got under it, and had nearly
reached the line when he was downed 1t
was Yales ball, and again he got it, this
time from Bsecher. Dodging in and out,
squirting and running alternately, he got
across the line at the far left hand corner
and secured touch down.
The crowd then swarmei all over the field
in the widest excitement, sweeping fences
and ropes before them. 1t was with the
greatest OF difficulty that the excited men
could be gotten back Then the ball was
brought out 1t was long and difficult cross
kick and not one in twenty believed that
Bull could do it He went at it calmly, how
ever, sighted the ball, and then drove it be-
tween the posts and over the bar Score:
Yale, II; Harvard, S. Before the bali could
be put in play again time was called, and
Yals had won the championship,
The scene that followed beggars descrip-
ton, but it was brought to close by the
victorious players being borne of the field
by their fellow wearers OF the blue Yale
then adopted Harvards colors for the night
and put crimson all over the city.
